Beyond Sunny Italy

Take my hand Share this breath with me Take my half-presence and empty company Take this fragmented life When your other half is your entirety Take my tired eyes and I'll take back sovereignty I can't be here We'll lay to rest this year I still love you I know that isn't clear I'll feel my own pain Pulled apart by the strain Houses burnt down by the hearth's flame I'll take my time Take my energy Take a running tally of times when I feel like me Take a step back And as friend we can laugh and see The romantic's agate Every fracture holds beauty I can't be here We'll lay to rest this year I still love you I'm so sorry dear
